The anatomy of a question that gets answered within an hour
A photograph of a vial is rarely useful and a photograph of a document usually is. Redact the identifiers before you post either.
It is worth checking rather than assuming, which costs nothing.
Post #12 is the version of this I will quote in future. One addition.
It is fine to say you cannot explain why you are asking. Nobody will press, and the technical part of the question can usually be answered without the context.
Asking a follow-up: new topic or reply in the old one? If the answer depends on the previous post, reply. If it is a question that makes sense without the previous post, new topic. The second gets faster answers.
I have deliberately not rounded that, because the rounding is where the argument starts.
Post the arithmetic you already did. Half the questions here are answered by someone spotting which line of your working is wrong, and that is impossible if you only give the answer you got.
The step people skip is the one I have spelled out.
Post #67 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.
"Has anyone had this happen" gets you anecdotes. "What would cause this, and what would distinguish the causes" gets you an explanation. The second question is almost always the one you wanted.
That has been true for the cases I have seen and I have not seen many.
Confirming post #98 from a second method, which matters more than confirming it from a second person.
Timeline questions need the timeline. Dates, in order, with what happened on each. "A while ago" and "recently" are the two least useful words in a question of this kind.
Worth reading the earlier posts in this thread before acting on mine.
Coming back to post #111, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.
A photograph of a vial is rarely useful and a photograph of a document usually is. Redact the identifiers before you post either.
The rule of thumb is fine; the edge cases are where it earns its keep.
